Abstract
An anti-disengaging mechanism of a cable connector includes a power connector having a jack opening. The power connector also has a metal electrode and a ring buckle located within the jack opening. A plug has a plug pin. When the plug pin is inserted into the jack opening, the ring buckle surrounds the plug pin. A longitudinal sliding pushrod is set in the power connector so that when the longitudinal sliding pushrod is in a first position, the longitudinal sliding pushrod tilts the ring buckle so as to lock the plug pin in the jack opening. When the longitudinal sliding pushrod is in a second position, the ring buckle releases the plug pin.
Claims19
An anti-disengaging mechanism for a cable connection, comprising:
- a power connector having a metal electrode and a ring buckle located within a jack opening;
- and
- a plug having a plug pin;
- wherein when the plug pin is inserted into the jack opening, the ring buckle surrounds the plug pin;
- wherein a longitudinal sliding pushrod is set in the power connector so that when the longitudinal sliding pushrod is in a first position, the longitudinal sliding pushrod tilts the ring buckle so as to lock the plug pin in the jack opening and when the longitudinal sliding pushrod is in a second position, the ring buckle releases the plug pin;
- wherein a toggling mechanism is also set in the power connector, the toggling mechanism being used to drive the longitudinal sliding pushrod to slide between the first position and the second position;
- and,
- wherein a first portion of the ring buckle is within a supporting groove inside the power connector, while a second portion of the ring buckle is inserted into a driving groove of the longitudinal sliding pushrod, the longitudinal sliding pushrod being connected to the toggling mechanism, a toggle of the toggling mechanism protruding from a shell of the power connector.
A power connector comprising:
- a metal electrode located within a jack opening;
- a ring buckle located within the jack opening;
- a longitudinal sliding pushrod arranged so that when a plug pin of a plug is within the jack opening and the longitudinal sliding pushrod is in a first position, the longitudinal sliding pushrod tilts the ring buckle so as to lock the plug pin in the jack opening and when the longitudinal sliding pushrod is in a second position, the ring buckle releases the plug pin.
A method for connecting a plug to a power connector, the method comprising
- placing a plug pin of a plug into a jack opening of a power connector so that the plug pin is electrically connected to a metal electrode located within the jack opening;
- sliding a longitudinal sliding pushrod into a first position, the longitudinal sliding pushrod tilting a ring buckle surrounding the plug pin into a position so as to lock the plug pin in the jack opening;
- and,
- sliding the longitudinal sliding pushrod into a second position so that the ring buckle releases the plug pin.
